The children were filial and considerate, and Yan Meng's inspiration stopped refusing, and after thinking about it, he wrote two names on the paper, the boy was called "Guo Yiliang", and the girl was called "Guo Yiyan". It's just because the girl gives birth to a cup of tea earlier than the boy, so the twins are sisters and brothers.

Except for the time in the harem, Sima Hongyan basically paid attention to the battle in the southeast. She sent a large number of female soldiers to the south, closely following the battle between the two sides, analyzing the strategies and steps of the two sides, and looking for their combat characteristics.

At this time, Ban Lingruo had returned from Beiling, and Hanbei Ying successfully regained power, and Beiling returned to Hanbei Eagle's control. And the Hanbei bear was on fire* in the palace, and his death was tragic. Hanbei Xiong died when he died, but in the end, the palace was set alight, which caused great damage to the Beiling Palace, and it is estimated that it will take a year and a half to repair it alone. But these are not important, Hanbei Ying has already announced the will of the Phoenix Lord to Beiling, and from now on, there will be no Beiling Kingdom, but it will be replaced by Yanling Beidu.

Hearing that the civil strife in Beiling had calmed down, Li Siyu took Han Miaoqi and went back to the northern capital of Yanling, one was to visit the king of Yanbei, and the other was to help the king of Yanbei rebuild his homeland.

The west and north have been stable, Sima Hongyan has no worries, and in the past year, Yanling has developed vigorously internally, and all industries of agriculture and commerce have made significant gains, plus several big transactions with Nanyi, Yanling's treasury is slightly rich, and Sima Hongyan feels that it is almost time for her to launch.

At this time, the war between Dongning and Nanyi also entered a white heat. At the beginning, the Dongning warship sailed into the Nanyi port, and the two sides launched a large-scale landing war along the coast. Dongning relied on the sharpness of the warship, and there were long-range weapons on the ship, so the Dongning soldiers easily attacked the coast. And Nanyi occupies a favorable location, and has ambushed many traps and hidden weapons, so the two sides were evenly matched for a time, and the casualties were very tragic.

However, King Hong was cunning, and his military advisor Shen Caijie was witty, and the two made a plan to retreat. First lay an ambush on the coast, and then retreated to the ship to lead the southern foreign army to pursue. As a result, Nan Yiren really fell for the trick and chased to the beach. The Dongning people ambushed the troops and cut off the back road of the Nanyiren, and the warship turned around and killed it again, and the two pincer attacks caused the Nanyiren army to suffer heavy casualties and lose the coast.

After that, the Dongning army landed and went straight to the main city of Nanyi. Nanyi is different from several other countries, their cities are not concentrated, they are all scattered, just because Nanyi is mostly jungle and dark river, the terrain is extremely complex, and it is impossible to form a complete big city.

This has both advantages and disadvantages, a single isolated city in Nanyi has brought a lot of trouble to the people of Dongning by virtue of the complex terrain, but at the same time, the forces of Nanyi are too scattered to resist the invasion of Dongning's army. Therefore, there is often a situation where more than 10,000 people from Nanyi fight against 100,000 people from Dongning.

Nanyi is not worried about losing a city, he can't hold it and run, and after escaping to the next city, he continues to entangle with the Dongning people, so the guerrilla attacks that come and go make King Hong annoyed, and he has the intention to stay in each small city he has captured, but in this way, it is not easy to divide the troops, and there will be a lot of trouble in the follow-up.

So King Hong asked the Dongning Emperor for help, and reinforced another 200,000 troops from the sea to Nanyi.

The poisonous ponds in the southern dangerous forests are everywhere, except for the natives of the southern differences, outsiders cannot distinguish the difference between them, and the Dongning people have been in the southern areas for a long time, and a large number of soldiers will not adapt to the water and soil, and countless soldiers will die of illness and poisoning.

King Hong didn't expect that Nanyi's hidden danger was so powerful, and if it continued like this, before Nanyi could be defeated, his subordinates would be killed by the harsh natural environment. In desperation, King Hong retreated to the seashore and looked for a strategy, and Dongning and Nanyi fell into a stalemate.

At this time, Sima Hongyan felt that the time had come for him to send troops.

Although it is not helpful to agree with the south, but now the southeast and southeast sides have become a state of confrontation. Moreover, Sima Hongyan did not send troops to help anyone, but directly attacked the main city of Dongning. It has not been a day or two since she held back the fire of Dongning, and she will definitely not let go of such a rare opportunity.

Now the only one in the world who has the ability to compete with Yanling is Dongning, and the ambition of the Dongning royal family is no worse than Sima Hongyan, so the battle between Yanling and Dongning can never be avoided.

As for Nanyi, Sima Hongyan already fully understood their strength, and if they wanted to confront Yanling, a Yanyi Pass was an insurmountable obstacle for them, so Sima Hongyan was not worried that Nanyi would take the opportunity to fall into the ground. On the contrary, as long as Nan Yi dared to do bad behind his back, Sima Hongyan just had an excuse to hand them over to King Yanxi to deal with.

The soldiers are fast, Yanning Pass has always been guarded by 100,000 troops, this time Sima Hongyan ordered 400,000 elite troops of Yanling, including 4,000 Hongyan troops, and went to Yanning Pass.

This time, the famous generals of Yanling were exhausted, and Sima Hongyan originally asked Guo Zidi to take good care of Nan Xunyan at home, but as soon as she heard that she was going to fight Dongning, Nan Xunyan did not hesitate to let Guo Zidi go out with the army, if she didn't take care of the two children, she would have to follow. If you want to talk about hatred for Dongning, Nan Xunyan is no less than Sima Hongyan.

The elite soldiers of Yanling sent Yanning Pass, such a big movement could not be hidden, Emperor Dongning soon got the news, he was shocked, and immediately rushed to recall King Hong, who was still in Nanyi.

King Hong was also shocked when he heard the news, since Nanyi could not be captured in a short period of time, and Yanling was overwhelmed by a large army, King Hong had to lead the army back to Dongning, relying on them to take the sea route, the speed was faster than walking, and returned to Dongning before the arrival of the Yanling army. And the people of Dongning have secretly withdrawn, and the Nanyi over there has not even noticed it.

In the Dongning Council, all the important ministers of Dongning arrived to discuss countermeasures against Yanling. Dealing with Yanling is not as superior at sea as dealing with Nanyi, and there is a wasteland outside Yanning Pass, and there is no other way except for the desperate efforts of real knives and guns. Although the combat effectiveness of the Yanling army is not the same as before, Dongning still has great confidence in its own army.

All the Dongning generals were full of self-confidence, and they all shouted that they would lead troops to meet the vanguard. The only one who is really worried about this is King Hong, because he has seen the battle of the Yanling army with his own eyes, and he has the strength to compete with Dongning, and may even be stronger than the Dongning army. But at this time, he didn't want to say it directly to discourage everyone's fighting spirit, so he just frowned and pondered on the side.

The opinions of the ministers are just references, and Lan Shengwen, the emperor of Dongning, wants to hear the opinions of King Hong and the military advisors the most. This time, Sima Hongyan was menacing, it was to fight with Dongning endlessly, and Lan Shengwen did not hold out any hope of being able to negotiate peace with Yanling, he was anxious to know if King Hong had a way to deal with it.

Shen Caijie, the military advisor, proposed that it was not easy for Yanling to transport grain, grass and baggage from afar, and Yanling must want to fight quickly. Dongning should take a defensive position and not take the initiative to engage Yanling, consuming their grain and fighting spirit. After a long time, the Yanling army will definitely be self-defeating.

King Hong disagreed, he thought that the border wall of Dongning was far less solid than the wall of Xiyue, but Sima Hongyan still entered Xiyue without much effort, so such a conservative tactic was not very beneficial to Dongning.

As a result, everyone deliberated for a long time, but they did not come up with any good ideas.

Sima Hongyan was dressed in armor and wore a phoenix evil on his waist, and led the army to Yanning Pass in less than a day. After joining up with the defenders, the army repaired for three days. On the fourth day, 50,000 troops were left to guard Yanning Pass, and the remaining 450,000 horses went out of Yanning Pass to Dongning to kill.

Nan Guying volunteered to be the vanguard army, Guo Zidi was the left army, Ban Lingruo was the right army, and the three roads each led 50,000 elite soldiers to march together, Sima Hongyan, Shi Jinyan, Zhong Liying, and Xiao Hongying led the Chinese army to follow behind under the protection of the women's army.

The army had been walking for three days, and on this day they were walking on a wasteland, when Sima Hongyan suddenly stopped and ordered the army to camp in place. All the soldiers and generals were puzzled why they wanted to stay in such a remote place, with no shops in front of the village and no shops in the back.

However, people close to Sima Hongyan know that this place was the place of the bloody battle, and Wu Zhao and many friends who helped each other died here. Although the bones of Wu Zhao and the others had been transported back to Yanling for burial, Sima Hongyan couldn't help but sigh when passing by here, and couldn't help but stop and revisit the old place.

Shi Jinyan carefully asked people to prepare incense and candles, and the group came to the place where Wu Zhao was buried at the beginning, and burned incense and lit candles to commemorate it. Before leaving, everyone heard Sima Hongyan swear to the air: Don't set foot in Dongning, swear not to collect troops!

I stayed here for the night, and the next morning I started again and continued my journey. After another day's walk, we passed a small town, but all the inhabitants had fled, and only a deserted town remained. It was getting late, and everyone was about to go to the town to rest, when suddenly Sima Hongyan shouted loudly, saying that no one should enter the town.

Everyone immediately realized that there was something wrong with the town, and hurriedly evacuated far away. Nan Guying looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything abnormal, so he asked his wife why he didn't let everyone go into the town to rest.

Sima Hongyan looked at the deserted town and sneered, and when she heard Nan Guying ask her, she asked rhetorically, "Didn't you find something wrong?" ”

Observing the details in detail, this is a skill that no one can compare with Sima Hongyan, Nan Guying observed carefully for a while, and finally had to say to his wife helplessly: "I really don't see anything abnormal, let's ask Lord Feng to explain our doubts." ”

At this time, everyone gathered around Sima Hongyan and Nan Guying, and when they heard Nan Guying and Sima Hongyan ridiculing, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

Sima Hongyan glared at her husband fiercely before she said to everyone: "The villagers in this town heard that the Yanling army was attacking at a glance and fled in order to avoid the war, am I right?" ”

Everyone looked at the mess everywhere in the town and the embarrassment of the families, and they all nodded unquestioningly. This kind of small town in the middle of nowhere, where there is often a war, they are the first to be unlucky, and they may have begun to be displaced before the war began.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Sima Hongyan continued: "But I just found out outside the town that the water tanks in front of these houses are full, which is not normal. Since they are fleeing and leaving, who has the time to carry water in their own water tank? ”

Hearing Sima Hongyan say this, when everyone looked at it again, they found that it seemed to be the case, and even from a distance, they could see the reflection of the water waves in some water tanks.

Guo Zidi couldn't help but say: "Maybe, this is a coincidence!" ”
